It's that time of year again; the days are getting (much) shorter, there's a crisp, wintery feel looming in the air, and the sound of Mariah Carey declaring all she wants for Christmas is thrumming away in every possible public place. Christmas is right around the corner, which means one thing: London's iconic Christmas by the River has returned to London Bridge.
This festive fiesta is back for another year of bringing seasonal cheer to the banks of the Thames. It's one of London's prettiest and most picturesque Christmas markets, featuring twinkling lights, street food stalls serving decadent treats, and clusters of wintery cabins filled with producers selling handmade pressies and crafty creations. There are two pop-up bars, The Riverside Lodge at The Scoop and Bar Reflexion at The Pier, serving Christmassy drinks, including the nation's favourite mulled wine. It's also worth keeping an eye on their website to find out more about their roster of upcoming events; they're planning everything from workshops and storytelling events to festive tastings and more.
Christmas by the River at London Bridge City, SE1 2DB. November 15, 2022, to January 2, 2023.
